It is never called since commit 81732c3b2fede (tty vt: Fix line
garbage in virtual console on command line edition) in 3.7. So remove
all the callbacks.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This reverts commit c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b, and the
subsequent commits that fixed it up:

 - afa9b649 "fbcon: prevent cursor disappearance after switching to 512
   character font"

 - d850a2fa "vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed"

 - 7fe3915a "vt/fbcon: update scrl_erase_char after 256/512-glyph font
   switch"

by request of Alan Cox. Quoth Alan:
  "Unfortunately it's wrong and its been causing breakages because
   various apps like ncurses expect our previous (and correct)
   behaviour."

Alexander sent out a similar patch.

<title>mdacon messing up default vc's - set default to vc13-16 again</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b9cf3aa6b1e934807b40b4d478d7e11f7c43f55</id>
<content type='text'>
mdacon incorrectly detects MDA hardware on systems without such graphics card.

One may load this module by chance, for example when doing some systematical
module-testing, and if there is no Monochrome Display Adapter attached ,
module init renders vc1-16 completely unusable.

I and others have run into this more than once.  see [Bug 224522 - modprobe
mdacon freezes machine -&gt; https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224522 ]
for example

Apparently  proper MDA detection seems to be broken for a long time - seems to
be related to those #ifdef TEST_MDA_B statements added by Edward Betts.

this commit back in 2002 made things even worse :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=c72757b49c88914433244757fb4967fc63546685

It changed default vc allocation from 13-16 to 1-16 for no apparent reason
(!?) , and with that (and without X), mdacon grabs the vc you`re currently
sitting on and locks you out.

this is from Kconfig :
&gt;config MDA_CONSOLE
&gt;        depends on !M68K &amp;&amp; !PARISC &amp;&amp; ISA
&gt;        tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
&gt;        ---help---
&gt;          Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
&gt;          adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
&gt;          will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
&gt;          say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
&gt;          normal VGA driver will handle it.

As we can see mdacon is just meant as an additional driver for dual-head
setup, and since kernel 2.4.36 still defaults to vc13-16 , setting the default
back to that value again shouldn`t do any harm.

Hereby i'm reverting that change, setting default back to to vc13-16 again.

Besides the fact that mdacon may be rarely or never be used these days and
could perhaps put to trash anyway (pre-dinosaur hardware!), indeed this is not
a real solution, but at least it removes the unfortunate side-effect of
messing up the vc you`re working on.

<id>urn:sha1:c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b</id>
<content type='text'>
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as

	perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
	perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'

causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.

When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset.  However, the lines are cleared with vc-&gt;vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color.  This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g.  `xterm -bg black`).

The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc-&gt;vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc-&gt;vc_def_color instead of vc-&gt;vc_color.
